Radio Waves

• Radio waves have the longest wavelengths and the lowest frequencies.
• often used to transfer data.

Microwaves

• have the highest frequencies.
• microwaves do not heat up your food the are used for phone communication.

Infrared Rays

• the wavelengths are shorter than radio waves.
• you can feel the energy and it feels like heat.

Visible Light

• higher frequencies then visible light.
• it can damage or kill living cells.

X-Rays

• the wavelengths are shorter than ultraviolet rays.
• can make an images of bones.

Gamma Rays

• they are the shortest wavelengths plus the highest frequencies.
• they have the highest amount of energy.
